How the allmighty 1080Ti has fallen...Getting beat by even the 5700XT in some.

On the other hand, I do match the stock 2080S fps(1440p) in FC:New Dawn when lightly OC'ed( ~2000-2012/+500 mem).

All in all I see a nice performance from the 2080S tbh but imho the general concensus since last year concerning the turing cards, still holds if I would say.

Bit better now tho I should add, just to give credit where credit's due.

Will quote HH from the conclusion as he nailed it:

You can blame them for overcharging graphics cards though. And that has to be the conclusion for today, the current state of the Super lineup is much better then what happened last year. They refreshed the RTX 2080 to be faster and cheaper, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, it ain't anything revolutionary either.

HH , even thou the writing was perfect, I am sorry that some ppl get offended by every little word that is there ... I am afraid in a few years we will all be little sheep with no word to say !
I undersend @anthos but why we always need to apologize for something .
As far as the review goes , same opinion 2700S is the better road .
Hope I have't offended anyone now ! .
... Have all a grate night

A measly 8-9% increase wouldn't be enough to cause any regret.

Surely a small OC on the 2080 would close that gap considerably.

I'm with everyone else here, the 2070S seems to be the best performance/price ratio card available right now.

Never realized that would be seen as offensive. I'll rewrite that a bit.

I understand that you didn't do it with a malicious intent however it is difficult to give you pass on that and I ll tell you why.
In 2019 you reviewed a 2080 card and you gave it the "Guru3d recommended" badge. Someone out there might have trusted your opinion and went with it. Then a few months down the line he reads from the same person that if he bought a 2080 - within the timeframe you yourself advised him to - then it "sucks to be him". That immediately insults him and destroys any credibility he has towards you.
Anyway again it is not meant to be a jab against you, but I wanted to advise you of the way it could be perceived and the impact it could have.

p.s my card is an nvidia 610 just in case anyone starts to wonder different things...

Will be upgrading next gen though
